Maher's a classic liberal and classic liberals on TV or in the MSM are basically unicorns now.
His response is to shit on all of it, which is one way of addressing the problem., I guess. You know, instead of having these people on his show to debate like he used to. These would be hellacious debates, and I'm sure Maher would win his fair share, if not most of them.
Perhaps the issue is that he can't book these people on his show because they view him as unacceptable for saying the n-word that one time, or other controversies. I could see that in one sense, but in another it's TV and the left likes being on TV almost as much as they like to break dance all over Twitter. But these people are NOT the majority of the left, just like left Twitter is not reality.
Guests like the one the other night (not Reiner), and it's just not worth watching because it's the same uninteresting, bloviating, generational bitching crap.
